Total scam! Never reply to calls, texts or emails from numbers you don’t recognise. Don’t ever let them record your voice – look up ‘voice cloning cons’ to see why it’s dangerous. Any dodgy calls or messages should be reported straight away to the police or Ofcom using their dedicated systems. You can text the number and details (including silent calls) to 7726, and you’ll need to confirm when prompted. Also, use your phone’s spam reporting tools to flag these. Text scams should be forwarded to 7726 as well, keeping an eye out for confirmation texts. For scam emails, forward them to [email protected] and use the phishing report option, normally found under the 3 dot menu. The more reports submitted through all these channels, the better the chances something will be done about the scammers. Search 7726 and [email protected] for full info. Stay safe!

Do make sure to report any scams you come across to help put a stop to them. The more reports the so-called "authorities" get, the better chance they have at taking action. If you haven't already, check out information on 'voice cloning scams' – it’s shocking what they can do with just a few seconds of your voice! Honestly, once I learned about it, I took off my voicemail greeting straight away. Proper scary stuff!

Got a call from a woman trying to chat with my kid, named specifically. Honestly, felt pretty sketchy!!!

My phone showed the number from Edinburgh and it popped up as Spam. The guy on the line spoke with a strong accent and kinda creeped me out by using my full name. He said something about a finance deal in progress. When I told him he’d got the wrong person, he was polite and ended the call wishing me a nice day.

My iPhone blocked a spam call, thankfully.

They keep ringing me really late at night and never say who they are. Today it was a woman, then a bloke called and just ended the call. I’m feeling poorly and honestly don’t need this hassle right now.

If you don’t report scams, they’ll keep happening. Loads of people here in the UK just ignore it, and that’s exactly what scammers count on. Put the details somewhere safe and make a report next time it happens - helps stop them in their tracks.

Got a missed call from 01908 758724 earlier today. Wonder who that was?

Received several calls from this number. Felt like it might be some kind of scam.

Someone rang saying they were from Automobile and offered a discount, but got all mixed up when I told them I wasn’t even with that network. The call finished pretty fast after that.

Keep gettin calls from this number and it always turns out to be a scam.

Just had a call from one of those AI robots. Make sure you report it! There’s more info a few comments down if you wanna check it out. Loads of these scammers use recordings of your voice, then AI copies it. Look up 'voice cloning scams' online to see what the cops say about this serious risk. People who fall for it often don’t realise straight away and end up stuck in trouble for ages. Be careful!

Got a call claiming my bank found two separate charges to different companies on my card. Really sounded like one of those scams trying to freak me out!

Got a call with no sound at all, definitely not following TPS rules.

So this person below actually rang this number back – honestly, pretty daft move if you ask me. They really didn’t seem to get how these scam calls work or how scammers operate. Looks like the number was generated by a computer and just happened to be active, belonging to someone innocent in France. Bit rough for that poor genuine person over there but lucky in a way for the person who responded here. Calling back might’ve redirected them to some expensive overseas number (could still be the case!). Now their own number’s probably flagged as an easy target for scammers later on. You might end up talking to a crook using AI to record your chat. Just Google 'voice cloning scams' to read up on the risks and what the police say about this scary new AI con.

I just ignored the call and put the number on block.

Got a call from some scammer, I just ended it, blocked the number, and made sure to report it.

Those silent ring calls? They're definitely dodgy scams, so best to report them straight away. I've put the info down below for anyone who needs it.

Just blocking calls doesn’t really stop those scams or the people behind them. If you want to actually do something, report the number instead. I’ve put the info for that down below.

Over a few days, I got calls from four separate Birmingham numbers, each time about some car finance issue. Pretty sure it was a relentless phishing attempt.

Got a call from some scammers – ended it right away and blocked the number straight off.

Got a call from someone saying they were sorting out car finance stuff for me. Pretty sure it was one of those Indian call centres behind it.

They called me a couple times then just quit.

I'm getting so fed up with these scammers constantly ringing me, mostly from 020 codes. They call almost every single day! I've got call screening on but it doesn't help much since they keep switching the numbers they use. No idea how to make it stop.
